Lalley Centre Official Opening

Bishop Brain opens the Lalley Welcome Centre

Our new community development initiative, The Lalley Welcome Centre, located in the basement of St Malachy’s Primary School, Eggington Street in Collyhurst Manchester, was officially opened and blessed by the Right Reverend Bishop of Salford Terence Brain on 7 February 2008. The opening was a great success and was attended by many people from the surrounding community .

The Lalley Welcome Centre, named after long term friends and supporters of
St Malachy’s, Kath and Terry Lalley, provides social work services, welfare rights, credit union advice and an informal café style drop-in Centre.

The opening of the Centre would not have been possible without the great support and guidance of volunteers and local businessmen. HMG Paints and Michael Kennedy Funeral Services gave up their time to fit out and furnish the Centre.

The Centre is open each Thursday, initially during term-time only, from
9.00 am – 3.30 pm.
